Residents of Panama City Beach in Florida got a glimpse of the damage caused by a Tornado touching down Tuesday morning. 

A video shot by Chris Keefe showed the path of destruction the tornado left in its wake on the east end of Panama City Beach.

Officials kept warning residents about the storms coming and warned them to stay indoors. 

An official can be heard on a bullhorn saying, “Folks, it is coming through, find a place to shelter. Get in your vehicles and get out of here.” 

Another video circulated online showed some damaged houses in the aftermath of the Tornado. 

Osterberg says the tornado continued to move up to Interstate 10, which is about an hour north of Panama City Beach. He says it went through the city of Marianna and as of 8 a.m. was beginning to weaken near Donaldsonville.

According to Osterberg, the tornado was ahead of a line of storms that is expected to pass through the Bay Area on Tuesday afternoon.

He says that the main line of thunderstorms is producing three separate tornado warnings just east of Pensacola.
